The FanTAXtic case competition gives students a peek at the types of challenges and trends they will encounter in the accounting and auditing fields.

“Students participating in this competition are getting real-world experience to prepare them for a career in tax, which requires a diverse skillset and innovative thinking,” Steve Kimble, chairman and CEO of Deloitte Tax said in a statement. “I congratulate all of them for their technical proficiency and teamwork, as well as their critical and bold thinking to solve the complexities of this year’s business case challenge.”
